This film finds kinship with the Coen Brothers' blend of slapstick, snowballing bad luck, and slightly off-center supernatural elements, akin to A Serious Man and Inside Llewyn Davis.

We also get a heavy dose of visual textures with the auditory chaos of overlapping, argumentative dialogue reminiscent of The Bear. Lastly, the darkly comedic character study of Santino feels familiar to A24's Beef.
